I try to use QFileDialog for choose a file on PyQt but it don't run
I'm new on stackoverflow. I have a MainWindow on PyQt, I want click a button and open a QFileDialog for choose a file. The problem is: If I use a MainWindow, QFileDialog don't run. If I use a Dialog, QFileDialog run.
This is my code for the MainWindow.
import sys
from Import_fsa import import_fsa
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
from PyQt4.QtGui import QFileDialog
from Vannucci_Gemignani import Ui_MainWindow
class GUI_fsa(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self)
self.ui=Ui_MainWindow()
self.ui.setupUi(self)
QtCore.QObject.connect(self.ui.Button_Browse, QtCore.SIGNAL('clicked()'), self.Browse)
def Browse(self):
fname=QFileDialog.getOpenFileName()
self.lineEdit.setText(fname)
data_set=import_fsa(fname)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
MainWindow = QtGui.QMainWindow()
ui = Ui_MainWindow()
ui.setupUi(MainWindow)
MainWindow.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
This is the code for Dialog. Here I write the code in the .py generate using pyuic4 (QTDesigner)
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
from PyQt4.QtGui import QFileDialog
from ab1 import ABIFReader
import pylab
try:
_fromUtf8 = QtCore.QString.fromUtf8
except AttributeError:
_fromUtf8 = lambda s: s
class Ui_Dialog(object):
def setupUi(self, Dialog):
Dialog.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("Dialog"))
Dialog.resize(508, 363)
self.pushButton = QtGui.QPushButton(Dialog)
self.pushButton.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(10, 40, 75, 23))
self.pushButton.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("pushButton"))
self.lineEdit = QtGui.QLineEdit(Dialog)
self.lineEdit.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(110, 40, 361, 20))
self.lineEdit.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("lineEdit"))
self.retranslateUi(Dialog)
QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(Dialog)
QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton, QtCore.SIGNAL('clicked()'), self.selectFile)
def retranslateUi(self, Dialog):
Dialog.setWindowTitle(QtGui.QApplication.translate("Dialog", "Dialog", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
self.pushButton.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("Dialog", "PushButton", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
def selectFile(self):
fname=QFileDialog.getOpenFileName()
self.lineEdit.setText(fname)
reader=ABIFReader(fname)
dati=reader.getData('DATA',1)
pylab.plot(dati)
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
Dialog = QtGui.QDialog()
ui = Ui_Dialog()
ui.setupUi(Dialog)
Dialog.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

Answer
The file-dialog doesn't show, because you did not create an instance of your GUI_fsa class.
To fix that, make the following changes:
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
MainWindow = GUI_fsa()
# the next two lines aren't needed
# ui = Ui_MainWindow()
# ui.setupUi(MainWindow)
MainWindow.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
There is another problem you will also need to fix, in your Browse method. The widgets from Ui_MainWindow need to accessed via self.ui. So also make the following changes:
def Browse(self):
fname = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName()
self.ui.lineEdit.setText(fname)
...
One final suggestion: avoid using the old-style syntax for connecting signals, and use the new-style syntax instead:
# don't do this:
# QtCore.QObject.connect(self.ui.Button_Browse, QtCore.SIGNAL('clicked()'), self.Browse)
# do this!
self.ui.Button_Browse.clicked.connect(self.Browse)
